Elegant Nativity - Limited Edition Simon Says Stamp Card Kit

 Hello! I've got another card to share using the BRAND NEW Limited Edition Glory to the Newborn King Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp, and this one just feels elegant! This new die is so detailed, that it makes it look like it took a ton of work, when the die did all the hard work!

I die cut the First Noel die from Ivory cardstock in the kit for the shadow layer, then added Rainforest cardstock to cut the detail layer. I used the new Rainbow Splash Glue pens to adhere the layers together, then added a few of the Mini Stars Embellishment mix to fill in the sky, and blended a bit of Buttercream ink around the edges to add some shadow and interest. I trimmed one of the Midnight Green cardbases down to create my cardfront (just another way you can use those if you want to stretch your supplies!), and added some diagonal strips of some of the Luxe Glitter cardstock in the kit. Popped that nativity scene over the top with foam adhesive, added a sentiment from the Glory to the Newborn King stamp set (cut out with the separately available coordinating dies), and a few more of those stars! Here's a closer look at the details on this card:

Stitched Together - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! Today I've got a card to share using a fun newer set from Simon Says Stamp that I couldn't wait to ink up! I don't sew very much anymore, but my mom did a LOT when I was growing up, and I learned it from her as well in my younger days. After I got married and had kids, I had to narrow in on one hobby, and first scrapbooking, then cardmaking won my heart! So creating a card that honors that legacy feels particularly fitting! 

I started off by creating the diagonal striped background. I used Post It Tape to mask out 3 lines on a white cardbase, then blended Sprout ink in the open areas. The large Shading Brushes are so perfect for larger areas like this - I love the effect! I then stamped the little stitched heart image from Stitching Friends across the top and bottom row multiple times, then stamped the sewing machine and sentiment in the center. I was originally going to leave the sewing machine just simple outline stamping, but it felt like it needed something more, so I stamped again, clear heat embossed, and colored it in with Copic markers. I adhered that image slightly offset with foam squares, so it gave a 3D shadow effect. I ink blended some Buttercream ink all around the edges of the card to soften the white a bit, then added a few Clear Dazzling gems on the image to finish off. Here's a closer look:

Gina K October 2026 Release Cards for Simon Says Stamp

Hello! I'm popping in with a few projects to share that I created with the newest Gina K Release that is now available at Simon Says Stamp! I received a few items from the release, and had fun putting this trio of light and airy cards with a definite early spring feel! Scroll to the bottom of this post to see all the projects I created in more detail.

I created these cards using a mix of Ivy Frame, Leafy Frame, and On the Inside sets. I did some heat embossing, and used a soft palette of blue, green, a touch of yellow, and gray. Some twine for texture, splatter for interest, and gems for sparkle help finish them all of! All the supplies are linked at the bottom of this post - and here are lots more photos of the finished cards:

The Christmas Story Card Set - Limited Edition Simon Says Stamp Card Kit

Hello! There is a BRAND NEW Limited Edition Glory to the Newborn King Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp - and I'm dropping by to share a set of cards I created using this kit. It is JAM PACKED, and an incredible value, so you aren't going to want to miss it! I love that it focuses on the real reason we celebrate Christmas. I couldn't make just one card, so I made a full set!

For all of these cards, I started off by stamping some of the main scene images from Glory to the Newborn King in black ink, clear heat embossing, and die cutting with the separately available coordinating dies. I choose coordinating colors of the new Twilight Twinkle pattern papers in the kit for each scene, and paired them up with the amazing Luxe Glitter cardstock in the kit - this is an old favorite of mine, and I was so excited to see it in the kit! I stamped some additional elements around the scenes and heat embossed as well, then blended some coordinating backgrounds using Butter, Melon, Sky, and Punch inks. I trimmed those pattern papers down to adhere to the bottom of the cardbases, and then trimmed thin strips of different colors of the Luxe Glitter cardstock to pop up on foam over the edge. I added those stamped and die cut scenes with foam dots, and then rounded off one corner on each card for a touch of interest! Here are lots more photos of these fun cards:

Gourd Shaker Card - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! I'm absolutely love fall, and while I can feel that we are nearing the change over to winter, I'm still savoring all the fall feels! Earlier this week I felt like a little kid as I crunched through some leaves on the sidewalk, and yesterday I drove up a driveway covered with more crunchy leaves. The colors on the trees, the warm glow of the earlier fall evening sun, pulling out the cozy sweaters, it all just makes me so happy! I recently put together this card using some recently released items from Simon Says Stamp that capture a bit of my love for the season. And a little pink mixed with fall colors works surprisingly well, don't you think?

I used the Harvest Heirloom die set to create a shaker card - cutting the window with the main die from a panel of white cardstock, then cutting the leaves and stem from Sage and Dark Chocolate cardstock. I used Apricot cardstock for the background, and filled the shaker with the new Caramel Corn embellishment mix, and a few Lawn Fawn Iridescent Stars. I also die cut a frame with A2 Notched Rectangles and some Honey Gold cardstock, and added a sentiment from the Flourish Phrases set, with a tiny secondary sentiment from the Reverse Happy Everything EZ Strips sentiment strips. Finished off with a loopy bow of white twine! Here are more photos of this festive seasonal card:

Winter Wishes Reindeer - Tim Holtz Stamp and Coordinating die release

Good morning! I'm back with another project to share today using one of the the new Christmas stamp sets from Tim Holtz paired with the Simon Says Stamp coordinating dies that are available for PRE-ORDER. This card is so nice and simple - but I love the rustic Christmas color combo!

I started off by stamping in black and heat embossing the image from Festive Schematic twice, once on white cardstock, once on kraft cardstock, then die cut the deer out of the kraft one. The other one I die cut with the A2 Frames die, and kept just the center of that piece. I die cut the same A2 Frame from Lipstick cardstock, and carefully taped them together from the reverse side. I used a strip of Cream cardstock that I ran through the Dotted Diamond embossing folder, and tore the edges of, then popped the other things up with foam adhesive. Finished off with a sentiment, white heat embossed on black cardstock! Here's a closer look:

Cozy Mittens - Simon Says Stamp Sending Cheer Release

Good morning! I have another card to share today using the Simon Says Stamp Sending Cheer Release from earlier this month. Hard to believe I'm already gearing up and working hard on the NEXT release - time seems to fly this time of year! But these little mittens are SOOO cute, I had to make sure I had a chance to share them!

Need to link: Stitched Mittens, Fluted Forest Decor, Sweater Weather, Cardstock: Tiger Lily, Moss, Espresso, and Ivory, Dazzling Gold gems, A2 frames, Chunky Scalloped Ovals, Prima Yarn, inks: Cabbage, Apple, and Cookie  

I started off by die cutting and assembling the adorable Stitched Mittens die from a few of the new cardstock colors - Tiger Lily, Moss, and Espresso. I added some Prima yarn in a coordinating color as a string to attach them together, and a few Dazzling Gold gems for sparkle. The background uses the new Fluted Forest Decor stencil, that released to coordinate with a previously released embossing folder. I used the debossed side of some Ivory cardstock, and simply flipped the stencils upside down so they would line up, and added blending on some of the elements using Cabbage, Apple, and Cookie ink. I added a frame cut with A2 Frames die from Honey Gold cardstock, and a white Chunky Scalloped Oval leftover from another project in the center. Sentiment is from Sweater Weather, heat embossed in white on black cardstock. Here is a closer look at the finished card:
